Hey Y'all,I did say that I was interested in bringing back the coaches poll. I will be using the same methodology that Seth used when tabulating results of the poll. It seemed like there was a lot of interest (especially from students) for bringing back the rankings - so debaters make sure you encourage your coaches to submit their rankings. Let's aim for ballots on Monday the 24th by midnight.

- To vote, answer the question, “In rank order, who are currently the twenty-five best partnerships in the country?” and e-mail your list to leahmoczulski [at] gmail.com

- The 1st team on each ballot receives 25 points; the 2nd receives 24 points; etc., until the 25th team receives 1 point. In case of ties, points for those spots will be evenly divided.

- I will accept one ballot per school, submitted by a coach.

- Your rankings will be private. However, I will publish an alphabetical list of schools that voted.

- You are welcome to rank your own teams for the sake of accuracy, but they will not receive points for your ballot.

- Each team’s total score will be divided by the number of voters eligible to rank it, so that no school is disadvantaged by voting.

- No school or college debate organization is undertaking this poll, and it should be understood that voters do not invest as much time as a voter for NDT at-large bids, etc.Thanks!
